SCOTT Ticket Agent McCook Neb L W WAKELEY G P A Omaha Net E THE GRASS FENCE Thrilling Incident of the Battlo of Bunker Hill The battle of Bunker Hill gave the occasion for many deeds of valor and since that day we hold a list of names Illuminated in our memory One of these names belongs to the Knight of Derryfield Do you remember who he was and can you recall the song of his bravery Read of It once more and have impressed again on your heart the implicit obedience and perfect courage of the New Hampshire farm ers and their captain John Moor When the forty five mcn of the little town of Derryfield N II left their homes to fight for the great cause each knew that no men were ever led by a braver man than their beloved Captain Moor Ills courage had Inspired many of them in the French and Indian war So eagerly when the alarm came in 1793 they inarched with him and his drummer boy son to Cambridge where he was entered a captain In Starks regiment And now comes the battle of Bunker mil Behind a fence piled thick with grass Captain Moors company lay as still as death An order had come from Colonel Stark that not a shot was to be fired until the British passed a stake that was driven a short distance away With perfect confidence in themselves and their captain the farmers waited waited motionless while that beauti ful death dealing pageant of British warriors swept grandly toward them With the coolness and wonderful pre cision of a dress parade the old world came to meet the new the grenadiers and light infantry marching in single file twelve feet apart the artillery ad vancing more slowly and thundering out an insolent defiance to the con ceited little rebels while on each side five battalions formed an oblique line to the fence breastworks The very flower of the English army full blos somed in learned maneuvers resplen dent in shining arms and waving ban ners advanced to meet a little group of men untrained in tactics of warfare only half armed clad in homespun hiding behind a breastwork of grass The dead line was crossed Bang Bang Bang The little rebels were awake at last Now not the stake but a line of fallen bodies marked the dead line Thunder and lightning belched forth from that breastwork A fire Intense steady killing and the brave march of the Britishers was checked A slight recoil and the offi cers dashing up again urged the line forward Not for one moment did the grass fence cease its voice of fire and shot One by one the brave grenadiers and their dashing gallant officers fell to the earth The ranks broke and the proud host fled before the meager handful of New Hampshire men Ah if we could only have had grass breast works and Captain John Moor all along the American line C F Harri son in Atlanta Constitution A Philanthropist An earnest east side worker says that not long ago she was approached by an old gentleman who has the rep utation of being something of a philan thropist with the request that he be permitted to accompany her on one of her rounds of visits Much pleased the worker consented The destitute condition in which many families were found elicited expressions of deep sym pathy from the old gentleman but to his companions surprise and regret nothing more material Presently they came upon a small girl weeping bit terly What is it my dear the old gen tleman inquired The child raised a tear stained face and pointed into a dark alleyway Me mudder sent me to buy some bread an I lost my dime in there an Ill git licked awful she sobbed Poor dear he remarked in a tender voice at the same time putting his hand into his vest pocket Dont cry Here i J match Perhaps you will be able to find it Harpers Misled by Stationery I wrote a note to my washerwoman about a week or two ago asking her

gelist Moody sat in his room at the ho tel playing a game of cards with Mrs Moody and two friends when a mes senger came in with a dispatch As the boy stood waiting for a reply Mr Moody suddenly asked Wont you sit down my lad and have a game of authors with us The boy declined and soon left the room Hardly had the door closed when Mrs Moody said Why Dwight what made you think of Inviting that boy to sit down and play with us My dear replied Moody dont you eoe if I had not called the boys atten tion to the fact that wo were playing authors all the morning papers would certainly have announced under big headlines that D L Moody had been disco veied in a Sas Francisco hote engaged in a game ol sards A SINGULAR DUEL How the Death Ponalty Was Adminis tered to Two Indians The following story Illustrates very well one of the characteristics of the Indian as It shows that Indians as a rule did not mind dying so much as they were particular about the method It was a good many years ago at Pine Ridge when there was trouble with the Cheyennes Major Cooper was there as agent and there were two young Cheyennes who were badly wanted for murder They had way laid and killed a prospector They were not caught and the chances were that they would not be unless the sol diers were called in If this were done it was likely to precipitate trouble with the whole tribe and Major Coop er laid the case before the headmen They were told that if the soldiers were sent for there would surely be trouble and were requested politely to ask the two erring bucks to come in and be hanged Word was sent to the two young Indians Head Chief and Young Mule who wqre out in the hills They sent word back that they had no objection to dying If it would keep the rest of the tribe out of trouble but that if they had to die they preferred to die fighting and they wanted it distinctly understood that they would not be hanged It was entirely against the customs of the government but rules did not go for much in those days Results were the chief things and Major Cooper sent word to them that if they wanted a fight he would risk accommodating them A date was set and early in the morning they rode to ward the agency fully armed Major Cooper was out to meet them and the rest of the tribe the potential hostiles were gathered on the hills to see fair play The agent rodo out into the open and slipped off his horse using it for cover and shooting across the sad dle The two young Indians galloped up to within shooting distance and com menced circling hanging on the off side of their ponies and shooting un der their necks and across their heads The tacit understanding was that if they were killed it was all right but if they got the agent they would pull out into the hills and wait for some other challenger The fight did not last long Cooper had a heavy buf falo gun and killed one Indian shoot ing him through the body of his horse The other kept on circling and several shots were exchanged till the Indian was shot through the body He knew It would be all up with him in a few minutes and charged shooting as ho came But the agents luck held good and he was dropped within fifty yards The law was satisfied and the agent was able to report officially to Wash ington that the Indians had been ex ecuted Washington Star What Is a Midshipman By luck I for the first time in my life have found a plausible derivation for midshipman It would appear that in the days immediately after the flood the vessels were very high at the ends between which there was a deep waist giving no ready means of passing from one to the other To meet this difficulty there were employ ed a class of men usually young and alert who from their station were called midship men to carry messages which were not subject for the trum pet shout If this explanation holds water it like forecastle and after guard and knightheads gives another instance of survival of nomenclature from conditions which have long since ceased Whatever the origin of his title It well expressed the anomalous and un defined position of the midshipman He belonged so to say to both ends of the ship as well as to the middle and his duties and privileges alike fell within the broad saying that what was nobodys business was a midshipmans When appointed as such in later days he came in with the hayseed in his hair and went out lit for a lieuten ants charge but from first to last whatever his personal progress he continued as a midshipman a handy billy Captain A T Mahan in Har pers The Worlds Gypsies The gypsies have passed under a va riety of names arising either from their supposed original country or the callings and characteristics of the race The old English Egyptian the Span ish Gitana and the Magyar Pharas nepek Pharaohs people all point to an Egyptian origin The Scandinavian Tatare identifies them with the Mon golian hordes which terrorized early Europe while the French Bohemian suggests yet another country as their cradle As to the names bestowed by their supposed character the Arab boldly calls them haraini a villain the Dutchman heydens or heathons and the Persian takes his name from their complexion and dubs them karachi or swarthy A charter of William the Lion as early as the twelfth century mentions their Scotch name of tin klers which is commonly supposed to be a corruption of tinker although pos sibly the substitution of t for z has produced this form of the Italian Zlngaro one of the most widespread of gypsy appellations London Chron icle Regular Caller Pearl What ever became of that
